In So Much to Drool About: Lessons for Living Large, Barb Stone shares heartwarming stories and gentle wisdom inspired by her beloved Great Danes: Jazz, Beau, Aryanna, and Zeus. Through their eyes, she reveals the simple joys of living in the present, embracing life’s adventures, and facing challenges with resilience and an open heart. Discover how these gentle giants can teach you to find the “drool-worthy” moments in your own life and live with a renewed sense of joy and gratitude.
“This isn’t the first time a work has inspired me to adopt a dog, it is however the first time I imagined myself caring for a gentle giant of a dog, such as the beloved Danes showcased in Stone’s book: So Much to Drool About – Lessons for Living Large. There is so much clear wisdom in this work, and with it a gentle encouragement to center oneself into what truly works in times of ease and of distress. It brings to mind the thoughtfulness of Emerson and Thoreau as well as a Mary Oliver-like capacity to see the world through a lens broader than ours. This is a work for any one of us, young or not so young, who seeks to settle oneself into a living that is rich, loving and uncomplicated with unnecessary inner turmoil.”
Maria Sirois, Psy.D. Author of A Short Course in Happiness After Loss“You had me at So Much to Drool About. This is the title of Barb Stone’s new book about the depth of what it really means to live life to the fullest. And can I say, the word that comes to mind after spending time with this book is ‘BEAUTIFUL.’ The illustrations are beautiful, the dialogue between the dogs is beautiful and the beautiful and profound mic-drop wisdom sentences go straight to the heart. Every time. And this is one of those books that speaks to all ages…yes, it may appear like a children’s book, yet at its core it speaks to the sage in all of us…and reminds us who we really are as human beings on this magical path called life. I enjoyed reading and looking at every page…and will continue to as I read this and share this with everyone in my life.”
